InformationWeek Live for the Week of August 14, 2015

Join us for a roundup of the top stories on InformationWeek.com for the week of August 14, 2016. We'll be talking with the InformationWeek.com editors and correspondents who brought you the top stories of the week to get the "story behind the story." The on-air participants will share their take on why the big stories are important to you and your business and, sometimes, provide a look at the process that goes into deciding that a particular story is truly "big."

Join us for the show and for the incredible Friday Afternoon Conversation that runs beside the program. This is your chance to talk with your fellow InformationWeek.com community members about the news items that mean the most to your profession, your enterprise, and your work life. We'll look forward to having your voice in the discussion!
